Signs of Spring

Signs of spring are popping up all over. The yard has been filled with birds and squirrels. Every year a robin follows me as I weed. I don’t know how long robins live, so I have no idea if it’s the same one each year or not.

The daffodils are blooming in the fairy garden.

And by the greenhouse. I have no clue where this white daffodil came from.

And the Tete-a-Tete mini daffodils...

The Hellebore is still blooming like crazy. Man, I love this thing.

The Scilla Sibirica (Spring Beauty) is showing it’s pretty little, blue self.

After a heavy rain, the bleeding hearts shot up as if out of nowhere.

The peonies are popping up. They look so red when they first come out of the ground.

I love seeing everything grow and turn green in the flower garden in the spring.

The lawn is lush green after the recent rains we had.

The back yard.

Here’s a sure sign of spring — I started planting my seeds today under row covers in the kitchen garden.

The front porch is decked out for spring.

More spring on the front porch – tulip, daffodils, and grape hyacinths.

Another sign of spring — Molly and Izzy spend a lot more time out on the screened-in back porch.

Ok, so they aren’t plants and flowers, but hey, aren’t they cute? They LOVE that the warmer weather is here. Happy Spring!
